Thats not what I found hilarious.

Look at how close he is, and he didnt kill him?

I mean, If you want to kill someone that bad, learn to aim and use the gun first.

Remember that scene in Naked Gun 2 1/2? The one where they were shooting at each other while hiding behind trash cans....two feet away?

Naked gun 2 1/2 rocked!!!

I think Wrongfully Accused was way funnier though. I have never laughed as hard as I did when he dodged the train by jumping 100 feet in the air. :laughing:

At this range he should hit his target.  But if you\'ve ever fired a handgun, you know that at even 15 meters it\'s very difficult to hit a small target.  Add in shakey hands, nervousness, etc, and a few degrees means a miss.  Anything above 35 meters is very very hard with a handgun.

This kind of thing happens all the time... nervous guy, runs up, shoots a bunch, and because he\'s already thinking about running after and he\'s really nervous, he misses.

You guys are absolutely ridiculous.  Obviously none of you have ever been in a life or death situation.  None of you have ever had a gun pulled out on you.  Let me tell you, it\'s not a laughing matter.

Hold your tongue! I\'ve had two guns pulled on me! One fired and missed but only coz the gun got pulled upwards as he pulled the hammer back. The bullet whizzed above my head and I bolted like a scared rabbit. The other one was coz I cut off this car and when I got caught at the red light, he aimed the gun at my face. No, he didn\'t shoot.

I didn\'t laugh then....but I can laugh about it now. Now...as for me pointing guns at other people....that\'s none of your business. :)

And you have? Uhh no.

But Ive shot handguns, and upclose (10 feet) it is almost impossible to miss a target the size of a human. Look at that picture, he is how far? 5 feet maybe? The guy is stationary behind the tree.

I could tell you, if I had the reason to kill someone I would get the job done, and do it right. ;) So dont make me upset :D

Judging from where the gun is and the guy thats at most 1 1/2 feet away.

That guy has obviously not shot a gun before.

Or didn\'t intend to kill....just wound him. .22 cal isn\'t as effecient at killing as higher caliber bullets.

I heard that .20 or .22 cal bullets will penetrate the skull but doesn\'t have the force to exit, so it bounces around and ****s the brain up.

hehe like James Bond movies.James bond always manages with a handgun to kill instantly his enemies while the bad guys use submachine guns, riffles, AKs and God knows what else.HELL even sniping and they cant even injure him.

OK, true. It was a lawyer..  Good point....


Pot calling the kettle black?  
A guy kills himself - A thread that only two people even knew the guy and had no posts for two days.

A guy getting shot at - Everyone is laughing at the shooter because he missed.
 Yeah, I don\'t see a difference what so ever.

And yes I\'ve been shot at.  I was covering riots here in South St. Pete.  I was hit with large rocks and guns were being shot all over.  I have video where you hear a bullet wiz right over the mic.  You can totally hear it.  Absolutely wild.



What was the name of the senator that killed himself during a press conference?  Happened like 20-30 years ago.  Not sure.  I remember I had that video on my computer, but I can\'t remember the guy\'s name for the life of me (No pun intended).

The principal is, no matter how you justify your actions, you made fun of someone\'s death. You justify it because only two people commented on who it was. But yet, it was still a human life. However, you got your jollies and ruined a perfectly good thread.

Someone makes a joke about a gunman being a piss-poor aim and you start correcting people\'s thinking.

Point made.

Post by: videoholic on November 02, 2003, 06:21:59 AM
I gave my viewpoint.  Get over it...  I don\'t agree with much of anything you say, yet I let you have your opinion.  One of these days you\'ll be behind a tree with a guy 6 feet away hoping and praying he has bad aim.  Dude, that\'s freaking funny.  I guess you\'re right.

My joke on E. Smith wasn\'t on the dude who killed himself, it was just how similar his name is to a superstar athlete.

Nevermind, you must be right.  Because I am of course wrong..

Alright, here.

(1) First off, I am right. This is a given. You have been here long enough to realize three things.  I am always right. MM is always right. Ryu is always right. We are never wrong and we\'ll never admit to being wrong. Get over it.

(2) It\'s a frickin\' lawyer. Did you miss that point? No one likes lawyers. It\'s just like if he would of shot at a f**kin\' Nazi!

I saw it on TV a few days ago.  They said on the show he got hit with 5 bullets, with a few grazing him (one grazed his forehead).  

The dude sucked shooting the gun because he is OLD.  Old people can\'t shoot guns... they have shaky hands.
